The 2 Ellen Kings that came into Ellis Island in 1892 were in May and October, not in January and neither was coming from Waterford Ireland.An Irish Ellen King in the 1900 Minnesota census is: the Mother-in-Law of Wessie Amty, born Feb 1828, but the census shows that she came to this country in 1843, not 1892.

It looks to me like the New York Times got it wrong on 2 Jan 1892. The three large ships that were first off loaded were the Nevada, the City of Paris and the Victoria. I didn't find an Ellen King headed to Minnesota. I found an Ellie King, age 21 from Ireland headed to Nebraska. Maybe they got it wrong?Deb

I think it's probable that "Ellen King" was the "Ellie King" on the manifest (she even appears just before Annie Moore on the Nevada's passenger list!). But was she bound for Minnesota or Nebraska? We know that she didn't settle on the Minnesota/Nebraska border.
